Re: [xmca] Re: microgenesis?

And/or in line with Heinz Werner's work on microgenesis, what about Mike's
example of the attenuation and fading out of an image on the retina (into H
or B or 8)?

That is a microgenetic development, no?

It certainly fitz in with Werner's work - which seems cousin to Vygotsky's
work (hence my earlier question about links between Vygotsky and the
Leipzig school of Psychology).

But it does also seem like something different from how Wertsch has
developed the notion of microgenesis, but perhaps a bit closer to
Valsiner's development.

I think this is a great start but that there is a lot more that needs to be
included in the genesis of that development, esp. vis a vis the social
context (what Andy might be calling "sociogenesis" - the development of the
situation), but psychophysical perceptual developments seem like a good
start.
